Widget reloading is really doing a number on Linux (system grinds to a halt). Unsure what it is like on other systems as I only use Kodi in Linux and LibreELEC. This wasn't always the case but can't remember what version this started to happen (it might even be a bug in Kodi for Linux and has nothing to do with the skin).
EDIT#
Also not a big fan of how the hub images load. They used to load instantly. Now you get a blank screen for about half a seconded while the image loads. This is probably done for performance, but if anything it makes the hub slower as it seems to only get one image at a time. If you don't want it to download the hub images in batches you might be able to make it grab the next 2 or 3 images so it doesn't keep starting with a blank hub when it scrolls.
Would also be nice if the hub widgets also reload as I have content in them that does update. I normally have a few item menus in the hub so I can switch between them to force the hub to reload. That doesn't seem to work any more.
